the bottom lever on the right side - press it forward, toward the dash, and hold it for about 2 seconds and the cruise should engage - that also acts as 'accellerate'.  If you have a manual, your foot must be completely off the clutch also, not even resting on it.

Check your fusebox too for the correct fuse...diagram here:  http://bmwsport.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,206/topic,7.0/

fuses 6 and 10 should be 7.5

thanks for registering/posting :)
